"many more pictures +" has an image of a woman kissing a severed head -that is an homage to a piece by Aubrey Beardsley called "The Climax" that was made for Oscar Wilde's play, Salome. It's about the death of John the Baptist. I have the original tattooed super huge on my arm. It's a really nice tribute to it. Well done.
Yep! That's my arm! See the little bubbles in the top left corner? Tokato used those same bubbles in his version, along with the long hair of the man's head.
Salome, the woman, is a princess. She has a thing for Johnny-boy, over there, aka Iokanaan. He says "Fuck you, lady," because he isn't into she-devils. She says "I'll kiss you one day, you watch." Then, she has her step-daddy, the king, issue orders to have Johnny's head cut off and given to her on a plate. Upon it's delivery, she says "I kiss your mouth."
